Polling Place Photo Project Snaps Democracy Inaction – Oops, In Action

polling_place.jpg

AIGA launched the Polling Place Photo Project, which seeks to further citizen democracy by encouraging people to snap photos of voters in action.

We’re not really sure what this will show us unless somebody can snap a picture of maybe some machines miscounting votes or some naked cheerleaders voting in the snow. But they did land some interesting and occasionally heartfelt candids of people that some politician will probably use in a humanizing re-election campaign in the near future. Cheers. – Contributed by Angela Natividad

People who deliberately pick up books outside the genre they already gravitate toward aren’t just diversifying a hobby; they’re giving themselves regular practice at understanding unfamiliar structure and vocabulary instead of relying on a comfort zone that stopped stretching them a while ago.
